Tarika McAllister, 29, woke up before 6 a.m. to her dog barking and a loud bang at the back of her home on Bear Lane in Dunn, WRAL-TV reported.

“All I did was turn around and grab the gun," McAllister told the station. "I was fumbling with it. It’s my first time using it.”

“I know a lot of women are scared of guns," she told WRAL. "I feel those are the best protectors for us because we can’t fight a man. We can’t fight an intruder off.”

Good girl! We can all learn something from this. Maybe if we keep shooting at burglers they will think twice before breaking into someones house.

I am glad it turned out okay for her but i hope she now gets to the range to get proficient. She said she was “fumbling with it”, which could could have been disastrous for her.
I’m still happy she shot the SOB though.

Women, especially, need to arm themselves. We live in an unprecedented time! Good for this lady for having the courage and forethought to buy a gun and have it handy “just in case.”
